Description: ISBN10: 0670885118, ISBN13: 9780670885114, [publisher: U.S.A.: Viking Adult] Hardcover First Edition Eric Davis was an incredibly talented athlete from the rough streets of South Central Los Angeles. Davis played in the majors for 17 seasons hitting 282 home runs, 934 ribs, 349 stolen bases-including 80 in 1986. He was part of the World Champion Cincinnati Reds in 1990 and a World Series contending team, the Baltimore Orioles in 1997. Eric Davis confounded the skeptics who thought that he would not get out of the ghetto, would not become a star player, would not come back from injuries, and most recently, would not survive cancer. Both the non price clipped Dust Jacket and the book are in very good condition. I have more than 260 baseball biographies in stock. Discounts are available on multiple purchases on the same order.

Description: New York: Viking, Date: 1999. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [10], 278 pages. Color illustrations. Inscribed by the author (Davis). Eric Keith Davis (born May 29, 1962) is a former center fielder for several Major League Baseball teams. Davis was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 19, 1984 with the Cincinnati Reds, the team for which he is most remembered. He possessed a rare combination of excellent foot speed and bat speed, Davis became the first major league player to hit at least 30 home runs and steal at least 50 bases in the same season in 1987. A series of injuries derailed his career as he moved to the Dodgers and then the Tigers, and he retired in 1994. In 1996, Davis successfully restarted his baseball career with the Reds and was named the comeback player of the year. He moved to the Baltimore Orioles and, despite fighting colon cancer, he had one of his best statistical seasons in 1998. Injuries again slowed Davis over the next few seasons and he retired for good in 2001. Along with other business interests, Davis currently works as a roving instructor in the Reds organization. Eric Davis overcame the odds to become a member of the World Series championship Cincinnati team and an All Star player. Derived from a Kirkus review: A gritty and witty look at star player Davis, whose heart is a big red machine. Wiley, who served with Sports Illustrated and ESPN is the coauthor. Davis faced many perils, including a World Series injury in 1990, when this fiercely proud and competitive slugging outfielder ruptured his kidney almost making an impossible diving catch. Typically, Davis didn't display any pain until he collapsed on the way to the batters" box. He urinated enough blood to fill a beer cup and was rushed to the hospital. Every split second of this drama, from what he was thinking as he attempted the catch to the traffic lights on the ambulance drive, is given in great detail. It's great fun to hear Davis talk about "only hitting a buck seventy-eight" (.178) and hitting a "granny" (grand-slam home run). While his favorite years may have been as a Cincinnati Red, the real plot revolves around his rare ability to play hurt. One key injury happened after he was traded from the Dodgers to the Tigers and crashed into Fenway Park's notoriously short center-field wall. His hardest and highest wall, of course, was the colon cancer he courageously fought off to return to a troubled Baltimore club. The book remains about balls and strikes, dugouts and stadiums, rather than hospitals and chemotherapy treatments. Davis comes off as a picture of consistency, morality, and heroism. 1999.

He moved to the Baltimore Orioles and, despite fighting colon cancer, he had one of his best statistical seasons in 1998. Injuries again slowed Davis over the next few seasons and he retired for good in 2001. Along with other business interests, Davis currently works as a roving instructor in the Reds organization. Eric Davis overcame the odds to become a member of the World Series championship Cincinnati team and an All Star player. Derived from a Kirkus review: A gritty and witty look at star player Davis, whose heart is a big red machine. Wiley, who served with Sports Illustrated and ESPN is the coauthor. Davis faced many perils, including a World Series injury in 1990, when this fiercely proud and competitive slugging outfielder ruptured his kidney almost making an impossible diving catch. Typically, Davis didn't display any pain until he collapsed on the way to the batters" box. He urinated enough blood to fill a beer cup and was rushed to the hospital. Every split second of this drama, from what he was thinking as he attempted the catch to the traffic lights on the ambulance drive, is given in great detail. It's great fun to hear Davis talk about "only hitting a buck seventy-eight" (.178) and hitting a "granny" (grand-slam home run). While his favorite years may have been as a Cincinnati Red, the real plot revolves around his rare ability to play hurt. One key injury happened after he was traded from the Dodgers to the Tigers and crashed into Fenway Park's notoriously short center-field wall. His hardest and highest wall, of course, was the colon cancer he courageously fought off to return to a troubled Baltimore club. The book remains about balls and strikes, dugouts and stadiums, rather than hospitals and chemotherapy treatments. Davis comes off as a picture of consistency, morality, and heroism.
